With yet another cluster identified and more people testing positive for the virus, the civic body has decided to strengthen marshals on ground to enforce COVID-19 rules.
Addressing civic officials in a virtual meeting here on Friday, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner N. Manjunath Prasad said that for the next two months, marshals — who were until now deployed to monitor solid waste management and check littering in the city — will focus on ensuring that people are wearing masks, following social distancing protocols, and sanitising and washing their hands regularly.
